J. D. Ramaley, Real Estate Dealer
Our syndicate was so well pleased
with the result of our North
field real estate lottery that another and
larger one is in course of preparation,
and decision will be reached the day
before Thanksgiving day. Eighty
acres of land were purchased by us at
Chicago, being the extension of South
Park boulevard, and these were divided
into 700 building lots, and tickets
will be sold at $500 each, s25
down and S75 the day before the draw
ing. In addition to the building lots
there are some that are improved with
dwellings and these we will purchase
from the lucky holder at $4,000 if he
does not think well of his bargain. For
the convenience of our patrons we will
run special train to Chicago on this
occasion and we will have jolly time
you may rest assured. The boom given
Northfield by our venture isa lasting one
and already lots have enhanced in value
fully one-third since we had our draw

A Social Contrast.

New York World
A hospitable lady at Newport was
very much astonished the other day
when Sir Lionel and Lady Playfair, of
England, declined her invitation to dine
with the Duke of Marlborough. 1t is
safe to say that his grace did not share
in this surprise. The duke has been
cold-shouldered in English social circles
too long to feel astOnishment at any
snubs he may receive from his country
men here.
But the duke must feel wonder at the
attention he has tracted from tuft-hunt.
ing. Americans. Not long ago Buffalo
Bill wrote to friend in, this country:
IL sometimes wonder if / am the same
old Bill Cody, the bull-whacker." The
Duke of Marlborough must often ask
himself at present, if he is the famous
correspondent, the shady son of British
aristocracy, the bette noire whom Queen
Victoria refuses to recognize?

Deep in the Mire.

Caledonia Journal.
Ex-Warden Reed, of the Saltwater
penitentiary, seems to be into the
mire of crime and misconduct up to his
neck. The examination he was sub
iected to last week by the commission
appointed by Gov. McGill, revealed
some very unsav0ry circumstances,
which may prove to be facts, connected
with his administration as warden. His
dismissal from that institution was no
doubt timely one. 1t will not be sur
prise if he is reinstated-not as
warden, but as one of the brigade in
striped uniforms. 81. G. Stordock, the
present incumbent of the position
which it seems Mr.. Reed disgraced, is
the man who has preferred the charges.

The PRISON SCANDAL.
Comments by the Press Generally
Unfavorable to the Ex-Warden.
CAN HE CLEAR HIS SKIRTS?
This Is the Question Usually Asked,
and a Suspension of Judgment
Meanwhile Is Suggested.
The Manly Cantain.

Albert Lea Standard.
Capt. j. A. Reed, who was displaced
from the wardenship of the state prison
to give place to III. G. Stordock, is being
subjected to an inquisition at the insti-
cation of his successor, and by the con-
nivance of Gov. McGill. that is likely to
prove more disagreeable to the two lat
ter worthless than to anyone else. The
only testimony inculpating Capt. Reed
is that of some of the most char
acterless hags and scoundrels of the
prison, whose oaths are as valueless as
their virtue and honor, and who are ex-
pected to ruin the honorable record and
fair fame of brave soldier and upright
citizen. McGill with his always prated
desire for the interests of the dear peo-
pie, and Stordock, who for Office bent
the fawning knee to the little hypocrite,
are a fit pair to assail, through the testi-
mony of jail-birds, the clean and manly
character of such a man as Capt. Reed;
but they will signally fail in their out
rageous and scandalous efforts to thus
disgrace him in the eyes OF fair-minded
people.
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-09-18
QUEER RAILROAD TICKETS.

Some of the tranScontinental roads
have lately adopted form of ticket
that is likely to get good many of the
companies officials into serious trouble.
The object of this peculiar ticket is to
prevent its use by some other person
than the purchaser, and to accomplish
this end the conductor must punch out
a sort of photograph of the holder on
the cardboard.
To aid him the following is printed
on the ticket: Male-female; Slim
medium-st0ut; young-middle-a
elderly; eyes, light--dark; hair,
ight-dark: beard, muStache-chin-
side-nOne. Just fancy the predicament
in which this places a conscientious
conductor. If. for instance, woman of
uncertain age presents ticket, he is
obliged to decide whether to place her
in the youthful or elderly class. If the
former he not only tells a fib, but the
ticket is apt to be taken up by the next
conductor and the company may be
sued for damages.
If he places her in the elderly class he
will have to face the ire of an indignant
female who yet lays claim to girliShnesS.
Then, again, suppose that some woman
boards the train possessing on her lip a
well defined mustache. The conscien-
tious conductor must note that fact OH
the ticket, and again he must summon
up all his courage to meet the storm
sure to follow, and the company is very
likely never to carry that particular
passenger again. So, for various rea-
sons, it looks very much as though the
new scheme will not work. And why
should it be necessary? A ticket, no
matter by whom presented, represents
given sum of money paid for transpor-
tation.
The company is bound to give an
equivalent for that money, and it ought
not to make any difference who the
holder of the ticket is. The company
should honor it in any case. and by
doing so it would save both itself and
travellers a good deal of Inconvenience.
There is getting to be a good deal of
useless red tape wound about the run
ming gear of railway companies.

DonnelIy For Any Offices.

1t has been long while since the peo-
pie of Minnesota have had brainy gov
ernor, and instead of going to the foot of
the class why not go to the head and
take such man as Ignatius Donnelly,
than any an man in the state, is in full Ii sym. Sls
pathy with the people in their best aims
and strongest desires? Besides, il Don
nelly really knocks Shakespeare out of
the literary ring he ought to be governor
or to have any other office he wants.
The Sentinel is for Donnelly on any
ticket or upon any conditions, provided.
always, that he gets the drop ON such a
literary usurper as Shakespeare.

An Investigating Farce.

Blue Earth City Post.
The investigation" of ex-Warden
Reed must appear in the eyes of think
ing men farce, in that most of the tes-
timony against him comes from the low
est class of convicted criminals, and is
not worth the powder to blow it to she0l.
The present warden and Gov. McGill
have not strengthened their regulations
before the people by connecting them
selves with anything so vile and nasty.
The reputation of man like Capt. Reed
or any other honest man should never
be placed in jeopardy before the public
upon the testimony of the lowest class
of criminals in the calendar of crime.
Capt. Reed is entitled to the sympathy
of all good citizens for having to meet
such contemplate charges from so vile

St. Paul daily globe., 1887-09-18

ing our two carnival seasons, when this city
was packed with strangers, there were no
pickpockets. The police spotted every thief
that came to town and run him off. The good
order of the city was remarked upon by
everybody. Now compare thatwith the con-
dition of things on the Fair grounds during
this week. Mr.. MERRIAM's special police is
burlesque. Their presence seems to be an en-
couragement to the thieves. And as for the
blind pigs, it is a caution what a business
they have DONE"

Shuttle and Deal Over.

Duluth Herald.
The very interesting discussion which
is now being carried on between War
den Stordock and ex-Warden Reed is
disgusting in the extreme, and if one
tenth part of the accusations which
each makes is true, there is decided
need for a change in the administration
of prison affairs. 1t really looks as if
the present and past conduct of the
prison had been anything but satisfac-
tory, and the people will not feel thor
oughly satisfied until a full sweep is
made. Gov. McGill will probably be
compelled to shuttle up his cards and
make a new deal.

Characterless Convicts.
LIE Sueur Sentinel.

LIE Sueur Sentinel.
The outcroppings of the Saltwater
state prison investigation point very
strongly to to the present Warden Stor-
dock as the instigator, and McGill seems
to have only wanted small pretext to
do not believe that all Republicans in
office long while are honest, and do
believe it to be good rule not to let a
man hold the same Office long time,
lest he fall from grace because of his
fancied security of official tenure, we do
not think it very creditable to the pres
ent warden or the governor to place be-
fore the public the filth of characterless
convicts unless there be some truth at
the bottom of it, and that could have
been easily ascertained in advance of a
public trial.

The Barnacles Must Go.

st. Paul Herald.
. Stordock's appointment as warden of
the Saltwater penitentiary has resulted
in making number of unsavory dis
closures, and it is to be hoped there will
be no whitewashing done at the coming
Investigation. No one man should be
allowed to hold public office more than
two terms, and when we consider the
fact that number of the present state
officials have been feeding at the public
crib from eight to twenty years, it is a
wonder the party has not more scandals
to,father. The barnacles must go.

MARcK must need my services very
badly, for here is a telegram perempto-

ment not later than the first of next
month. This, too, despite the fact that
l have been absent from Germany for
five years and engaged in business on
this side of the water. No, have not
been naturaliZed yet, but if my emperor
attempts any funny business it will
not take me long to carry out that
programme. / have made represen-
tations to the German consul at Chicago
that l cannot leave my business, but it
seems to be of no avail, for he has de-
clined to allow me furlough OF an ex-
tension of leave. Should I refuse to
voluntarily return to Germany and serve
out my time in the army, itmeans exile
for life from my native land, and any
time that went back, no matter whether
citizen of this country or not, I could
be seized and forced into the army. 1t
was while student in Cologne
that l was drafted into the army.
for with US army service is compulsory,
and after five weeks obtained fur
lough and came to this country. Now,
just as l am doing well and getting
established in business, comes this sum-
mons to break up all my calculations.
But they want men for the armies, as
matters are very critical in Europe at
present, although it is so smooth on the
surface, and l suppose my case is only
one of thousands of similar character.

WILLIAM j. FLORENCE, Actor, Club
Man and Genial Gentleman, Generally
My impressions about the next candi-
date of the Republican party for the
presidency, derived from close associa-
ton with leading men in New York, is
that eX-Secretary LINCOLN is the COM
ing man. 1t seems to be the prevalent
idea that, putting aside the question of
sentiment, he would make capable,
conscientious president, and is the
strongest man that the Republicans can
put up. Poor ARTHUR. Why, man
alive, it makes me sick at heart
when l think of that poor gen.
tleman and his untimely end. A
truer man never breathed, and as
for the charge of his being machine
politician if that had been true he would
have been our standard bearer instead
of BLAINE. While at Washington re-
Gently I called at the White house and
spent short time with the president,
whom found very joval companiona-
BILE sort of an official. II suppose it is
nothing new for you to be at the execu-
tive mansion, Mr.. FLORENCE" said he;
whereupon informed him that l had
sat in the library and talked with every
president since FRANKLIN PIERCE and
l don't know but what l sat in this very
chair, Mr.. President, it certainly looks
like an old acquaintance.

EDWARD J. CATTELI, of New Jersey,

is to be the second name ON the ticket
with BLAINE in 1888. That would make
strong combination. and one that the
young men of the United States could
consistently support. Yes, have heard
FRED GRANT, but do not think much
of it. BLAINE and GRANT, however,
are my candidates, and they would
command support everywhere, and es-
pecially in New York, where the battle
must be fought over next wear.
